An alert for all our west coast friends in Victoria, B.C. Suzie LeBlanc will be singing
some of her Elizabeth Bishop songs (settings of poems she commissioned in 2011
for the Bishop centenary) with the Victoria Symphony Orchestra. Here are the
particulars:

These and several other settings (by John Plant and Emily
Doolittle) were recorded as “I am in need of music,” launched by Centre Discs (http://www.musiccentre.ca/node/77772
) in 2013 and winner of an East Coast Music Award in 2014.

For our east coast friends in Nova
Scotia, Suzie will be back in Halifax
on 24 May 2015 to perform in a fund-raising concert for St.
George’s Church (the Round Church).
We will provide more details early in May.

I am a professional singer who recently became a great admirer of Elizabeth Bishop's writing. I am also fond of walking and nature and I became involved with the Elizabeth Bishop Centenary because I wanted to have her poems set to music so that I could sing them.
